Default Lunch with the niece

That's 35,50$ per person. Pretty standard around here if you want to go to
a decent place. My father groused about paying that much at Inigo Jones in
London in 1973, but times have changed.

The children bought us a dinner at the local trattoria down the street. It
was for 100$ and we ended up paying 6$ more. And I had no alcohol, never
do, and we stuck to the table d'hôte which is excellent anyway.
